The weird shoe finder

30
12

Some shoe store *tonguetwister* also located in my town offered a pair of boots that I intended to buy, and still do. Unfortunately, when stepping by the shop, they told me that those boots already had been sold out.

I decided to wait a few days until trying again. Today, when surfing the web, I went by the shoe shops website to check out, in which stores the shoe should be available. A kinda weird thing, because this shoe finder actually says this boot is not available neither in my town nor in any other shop within the whole region. The whole suprise emerged when trying out the “shopfinder” of the website. When entering the nsame of my hometown (and my hometown is a big city) the finder shows me a shop which should be about 50 km away from my town.

What did this websearching bring me? In fact nothing. I still will walk to the shops myself, which DO exist, and look, whether the boots are available or not.

    thats annoying(especally considerin I work in a shoe store)lately boots are hard to come by..the ones we sell are mostly old.
    I hope you find them though and maybe you should email the site and tel them their database is doing something wrong.
    have a happy new year!
